SchooltimeLice & Nit Comb-- Metal Comb with Ergonomic Handle

If you're freaking out like I was when I discovered I had lice, mix 20 drops of REAL tea tree oil (aura cacia or plant therapy are good brands) in about a cup of olive or avocado oil. Put in your hair, yes even the roots.. especially the roots, and saturate well. Cover your head with a plastic bag or hair bag for 1-2 hours, use a fine toothed normal comb for the larger bugs first, then this. Wash hair with shampoo, adding tea tree to that also, and when you condition your hair, comb again. This will get a majority of the bugs. Several studies confirm the efficacy of tea tree oil in killing lice and the eggs. 100% of lice in the first 30 minutes, but it takes longer to kill the eggs so they dont hatch in the days to come. These are harder to see. Dont be fooled, they stick strongly to the hair follicles closer to the roots. Tea tree and lavender oil are good to put in shampoo as a preventative measure especially in the first day or 2 of getting rid of lice. the key is getting every spot in your head or they will just keep multiplying. Kill them all in one shot and you're good.Comb your hair for the next 3 days or when you condition your hair to get all the bugs out.Iif you were thorough the first day, they should at least be all dead.This worked absolutely wonderfully for me and I hope this helps someone. It takes awhile the first day to comb but it is obviously worth it. Good luck.

This is the first bout of lice that our family has had to deal with and despite our best efforts our child still managed to get a few eggs in her hair from playing with the other kids at school. This comb made the whole ordeal much easier then when I was a child. The comb is well made from tough materials and the narrowness of the teeth make combing through to get out the nits and eggs a breeze. Two or three run through in the shower and by me and my partner picking through her hair, she was lice free in 48 hours! The price was completely reasonable and made the entire ordeal that must easier to get through. It was also easy for my child to use on her own, combing through her hair in the shower in order to maximize the effectiveness of our efforts to get rid of those little monsters. 10/10 would buy again but dearly hope I don't have to. Anyone dealing with lice should invest in this and if you get that horrible, dreaded letter from school that there's been an outbreak of lice at your child's school it would be GREAT to use for preemptive strikes against any eggs that might have found their way onto your kids head.

I was expecting more out of this metal comb. It works okay while in the shower with conditioner to grab lice. As far as getting the nits, (which is why I really wanted it in the first place) Its mediocre. My child has medium length and medium to thick hair. I tried using it dry which grabbed only 2 nits after about 4 strokes through a section of hair. When I tried it wet with conditioner in it, the comb took out a little more about one or 2 nits with every other stroke. I tried using smaller sections of hair and thicker sections. Honestly, I want to say ive seen the plastic ones do a better job. Does it work? yes, it does get the job done, it just takes more time then I was hoping for with the price. Would I buy it again, no probably not.

I love this comb. I don't use it because of lice but for removal of dandruff. The fine teeth allows for it to pickup the dandruff off the scalp, so once I allow my hair to sit and soften from the prepoo mixture I use to soften the dandruff up I have a clean scalp afterwards. Just be careful not to comb to hard you could leave a cut on your scalp.

this is the most awesome nit comb, the ones that they sell in the grocery store are not even close to the sturdy high quality of this product. GREAT PRODUCT, TEETH DO NOT BREAK, DISHWASHET SAFE, this one is the way to go! The teeth do not break when you try to comb through your child's hair, it is definitely worth the money, and would recommend to any families have had to have to deal with this problem.
